Pros

In most of the departments, work with one the best team in the industry. One can learn and grow very quickly. Compensation is the highest in the industry, provided you work for revenue-generating divisions (Equities, FICC, IBD or Merchant Banking). The much publicized focus on team work is indeed very true. It does not only apply on your local coworkers, but also globally with other teams in other locations working in the same area. From my experience, other firms are a lot more fragmented.

Cons

Probably the long hours, but that is a common theme in the financial industry.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
